• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The International Crimes Bill be now read the Third Time. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: If I may just make one comment on this, I am particularly moved that at long last we are domesticating the Rome Statute, which estbalishes the International Criminal Court (ICC). I recollect that about 28 years ago, in 1980, in a town outside The Hague, I, together with some other people called for the establishment of the ICC, but we never thought it would become a reality in our day. But it has become a reality and today Kenya is joining others in domesticating the Rome Statute, which we have already ratified. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: I just wish to remind people that the Rome Statute places primary responsibility on the nation states to investigate and prosecute the crimes which are enshrined therein. It does not place primary responsibility on the ICC. The resposnibility is on the nation state to investigate and prosecute those crimes. It is only where the nation state is either unwilling or unable to genuinely investigate and prosecute crimes that the ICC may come in. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I December 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4053 also want to add my voice and thank the Minister for bringing this Bill. This is because this country has been a dumping place for products that are rejected in other countries. Now that we have given the Minister the power and mandate to deal with fake commodities, please, go ahead and do it. I support you. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I 4054 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 10, 2008 thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I would like to take this opportunity to thank former Member of Parliament, Mr. Oloo Aringo. He tried to bring this Bill to reality, but it never worked. In the same way, I want to thank Mr. Mbau. Today is an important day in the history of Kenya. Days are now gone for those who are used to taking Kenyans' money to one area or the other, at the expense of the country. I am happy today that the ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware. (b) No, I am not aware. (c) It has taken a long time because of failure by the plaintiff/decree holder to provide a certified copy of the decree in spite of the request addressed to Messrs. Katunga Mbuvi Advocates on record by the Office of the Attorney-General. The plaintiff has also changed advocates from time to time. As of now, she has applied and has been given permission to act in person. All these reasons have caused the delay. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware of that letter. It is not just that letter. 3462 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 13, 2008 There are two letters. One is dated 25th February and the other one is dated 12th September, 2008. I am aware of those letters. What was attached was not the certified copy of the decree. Consequently, the hon. Member should thank me for making every effort to try and make that payment in spite of the fact that the certified copy of the decree has not been found. I have only sympathised and acted in this manner because ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I had the money, I would pay her today. The person responsible for paying her is the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry concerned. I am sure the hon. Member knows which Ministry it is, because he has a copy of that letter. That is the person who knows exactly when she will be paid. The hon. Member should at least appreciate the fact that the Attorney-General is trying to put pressure on the Permanent Secretary to pay Ms. Mumo. view
